No luck with gels again

[Storme]

I am sort of at the breaking point now. After taking a long break from gels I, ordered the NSI trial kit to see if that would be of any use to me and used the natural tips as you all mentioned instead of pre-coloured tips.

I did this in saturday, everything was fine then thursday (Yesterday) only one of my moms nails come off, she showed me and it broke off way after the apex point.

I have no idea what I be doing wrong. My following procedure is...

File nails
Apply CND cuticle eraser, and removed dead tissue and pushed the eponichium back (as shown by finger nail fixer)
Remove shine
Wipe over with scrub fresh
Apply tips (no bubbles created)
Cut and file tips to shape
File away ghost line and buff shine off tips.
Dust excess off, apply nsi bonder to top of nail only.
Apply first layer of NSI builder gel, thinly (like polish) Cure 2 mins
Apply second layer of gel, building apex in the middle of the nail.
Cure two mins
(at this point my mom wanted french tips)
Apply first and second coat of white gel, cure another two mins both layers.
Apply NSI finish clear.
Remove tackey layer with nsi remover.
All whislt sealing in the edges.

My mom works on a computer alot would that make a difference?
I have uploaded two pictures, on on my mothers nails, with the french tip and the second that I did 3 days ago following the same routine but just clear.

Now the woman I did three days ago has turned around and said they have all come off one by one.

After removing cuticle, wash of the Cuticle Away..

..then, remove shine..

..THEN Scrub Fresh - not before removing shine.

You're not meant to just be 'wiping away', you're 'scrubbing' them.

Lastly, you need to stick with ONE system, you have a mix of NSI and CND and that's not the way that's advised.

Good luck.

Having also re-looked at your pics, some of them do seem to have product too close to the skin and not much apex - the pinkie on the right side definitely seems to dip.

I'm not in a position to critique anyone's nails but 2 things spring to mind. One, as Emily says, you should be sticking to one system and also, maybe you should consider some training, 1-2-1 if necessary. Without an educators input, it may be hard to improve:hug:

Yeah I am going to try and find someone who does nails succesfully and ask if I can do a set on them and ask for advice and guidence.
Sorry when I said wipe I do mean scrub as I pull the nail folds down do down there and under the free edge if there is any.
As I think my prep is great and can't get in better, i really think it is my application of gel.
